The prizewinner and a guest will spend two nights in this super-smart B&B. Bed down in a light-filled bedroom with traditional features including antique furniture and oak beds. All of the bedrooms have views across Penzance and onto Mounts Bay, meaning you’ll wake up to the sight of the beautiful coast.

Spend your free time in the hotel’s drawing room or, if the weather’s good, outside in the garden with a local cider. Breakfast is included in your stay – take it in the dining room, which has flagstone flooring and a big, communal table where you can fuel up with freshly baked breads and pastries, a proper English breakfast or a Cornwall speciality: sizzled cod roe, smoked bacon, samphire and a poached egg. Plus, a bottle of wine will be waiting for you in your room to welcome you to the hotel.
